The Stinson B Evo from Hoka One One features improvements to both the fit and the outsole. The rationale for the original Stinson B model was to create a shoe equally at home on the roads as well as trails by combining the best features of sister shoes the Bondi and Mafate. The exciting new Stinson B Evo (as in evolution) takes that concept to a whole new level with dramatically enhanced performance, efficiency, fit and feel, that will benefit a broad spectrum of runners and walkers.

The Evo is suitable for use on all types of on and off road terrain thanks to increased outsole traction while providing responsive cushioning, stability, and efficiency unlike anything else in the market today.
Oversized, yet amazingly light and stable, the midsole technology provides a remarkably smooth, yet incredibly efficient ride guaranteed to impress. Similar to the way a full suspension mountain bike functions, stress on the body is greatly reduced, making it an ideal training or racing shoe for ultrarunners, marathoners, triathletes, or anyone looking to really enjoy their outdoor activities on foot, no matter the terrain.
The Stinson B Evo has been enhanced with a few new features making it perfect for everyday training yet light enough for race day performance:
- A new light-weight outsole design has much better traction on all surfaces, even technical terrain, thanks to strategically placed high abrasion resistant lugs.
- The fit and comfort of the upper has been improved particularly with respect to the forefoot area.
- Efficient, lightweight speed laces are included.
- The midsole has been enhanced with a more contoured sidewall providing slightly more width while still remaining snug.
- The Evo has been engineered for superior protection, comfort and propulsion with rockered geometry that creates a platform for optimally efficient natural running mechanics.
Like all other Hoka OneOne models, the Stinson B Evo has a lower ramp angle from heel to toe of only 4mm and a precisely engineered rockered forefoot and rearfoot. The midsole encourages the wearer to move in a manner similar to the way a barefoot runner does on soft surfaces. This low ramp angle also allows for tremendous confidence running downhill, and the oversized midsole is designed to maximize muscle efficiency through the reduction of stress on all muscles and joints, regardless of surface or distance.
How it Works:
- Recent breakthroughs in materials technology allow for 2.5 to 3 times the usual amount of ultra lightweight resilient foam to be utilized in the patent pending midsole, which is scientifically designed with a midsole geometry engineered to provide far superior biomechanical efficiency, cushioning, responsiveness and performance.
- When running or walking, the feather-light EVA midsole compresses to providing excellent shock absorption- it springs back under the forefoot for increased acceleration and propulsion.
- Despite the shoes being drastically more cushioned than virtually anything else on the market, because it has approximately 50% more surface area in contact with the ground and a midsole that positions the foot deeply recessed into it, the shoe provides lateral stability and protection on a level similar to many traditional stability running shoes without any midsole posting.
Specifications:
- Weight- 10.4 ounces, size 9.
- Heel to Toe Drop- 4mm.
Sizing:
The Evo is offered in half sizes up to size 14. Size 14 is the largest size made. We have found the Evo to be running true to size, thus if you typically wear size 9 in traditional shoes, order a size 9.
